TO ALL WIOM 1T MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, G. M. Mounts, of Cohocs, Albany county, New York,have invented a new and improved Oiling Device for Journal-Boxes; and ldo hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art tomake' and use the same, reference being had to' the accompanyingdrawings, forming part of this specification. l

Figure 1 is a cross-Section ef ajournal-box, to which my improved oilingdevice has been attached, tulcen through the line x a', iig. 2.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of the suine, taken through the line,fl/y, fig. 1.

Figure f3 isa detail View of the inclined plate.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspon'iing parts.

My invention has for its object to furnish en improved device for oilingjournals, which shall be siinple in construction, effective inoperation, and easily removed and replaced when worn; and it consists informing inclined shoulders in the oil reservoir formed in the`journal-box, und in the inclined removable slotted plate, incombination with the inclined shoulders of the journal-box and with theoiling disk; the whole being constructed and arranged as hereinaftermore fully described.

A is the lower, and B the upper part or cap of the journal-box. Themiddle part of the lower part A isV cut away, or chambered, so ns toform an oil reservoir, C, as shown in Egs. 1 and 2, leaving a rib, a',so that the side of thejournal may be in Contact with a. bearing surfacethroughout the entire length of the journal-bok. Upon the sides of thereservoir or chamber C arc formed inclined shoulders D, as shown iniig. 1. These shoulders l) may bc cast solid with the journal-homer theymay be formed separately and placed-within the chamber C, es may beldesired or convenient. E is a. metal plate of such a length as to extendfrom the bottom of the chamber Cvto its upper edge, resting upon theinclined shoulders D, and equal in breadth to the breadth of the saidchamber C, so that it may fit accurately into its sent. The steadinessof tht,` plate may be increased by making the sidesY of the chamber-Cand the edges ofthe plate lilslightly tapering, or wedge-shaped, asshown in figs. 2 and 'lhe plateE is slotted longitudinally, as shown infigs. 1, 2, and 3, for the reception of the oiling disk F. the 'ournulsG of which revolve u on the face of the said late E, as shown in fins. 1and The lower .l P P a edge ofthe plate E is notched, and the lower endof the slot through said plate is enlarged, as shown in figs. 2 and 3,to allow the oil to have a, free passage. By this construction the plateE prevents the shoulders D from becoming worn by thejournalsyG; andshould the plate D become worn it may be turned over or rem'oved Vandreplaced with o new one, without interfering with the operation of thejournal, und while the said journal is in motion. It also enables alarge or small oiling disk, F, to be' used, as may be desired orconvenienty I claim' as new, and desire to secure by Letters Paten t 1.Forming inclined shoulders Din the oil chamber or reservoir C of thejournal-box, substantially :1s herein shown and described und for thepurpose set forth. Y

2. The inclined removable slotted plate E, in combination with theinclined shoulders D of the journal-box und with the oiling disk F,substantially as herein shown and .described and for the purpose setforth.

The above specification of my invention signed by me this 28th day ofJanuary, 1867.
